Memphis store cashier too generous to customers, police say

Kirsten Rucker celebrates her 20th birthday today, but she landed in jail on Tuesday because she may have been too generous as a clothing store cashier, according to a court affidavit.

Surveillance video at the 4 Ever Young store at Whitehaven's Southland Mall on March 2 captured Rucker pretending to ring up clothes for customers, but actually charging them nothing, according to the court document.

The unpaid bill for the clothes came to nearly $3,765.

Police charged Rucker with theft. She was held at Shelby County's Jail East on $2,000 bond, with a court appearance scheduled this morning.
